The show must go on! Lil' Kim defies bar brawls to perform for her fans

Lil' Kim proved that fans come first when she traversed several bar fights to perform for a Florida audience.

The rapper continued her set despite multiple brawls breaking out before she was due onstage.

37-year-old Kim was reportedly unfazed by the incidents and performed like a pro, much to the delight of her awaiting fans.

She appeared at the Channelside IMAX in Tampa, along with fellow rapper Trina, who was forced to be pulled from the stage by her security when the violence broke out.

But ever the professional, Kim, whose real name is Kimberly Jones, jumped in and starting performing her own music.

Once the crowd had calmed down thanks to Kim taking the initiative, Trina joined her on stage a few minutes later.

The fellow rapper then duetted with Kim along to some of her biggest hits.

And Trina was clearly grateful for Kim's bravery when she took to her Twitter account the following day.

She wrote: 'Can't forget to thank everyone that came out last night in Tampa. Despite all the fighting the show must go on. @LilKim closed it w/ a bang!', a post which was retweeted by the 4ft 11in Magic Stick rapper.

Kim sported a racy pink and black romper suit with sheer panels for her set at the night club.

And she accessorised the look with pink platform heels, over-the-knee stockings and a chunky pearl necklace. (dailymail)

@Jamal718.

Exactly. So why lie to fans? Just say "My pressed fake face ass is waiting on Nicki to drop, So I can release 2 unheard of songs" At the end of the fucking day that's what the EP is 5 songs. Which "I am Not the One" "Looks Like Money" and "Warning" were already released. So all ya'll have is 2 songs coming. WHOOPIE!!

Plus when Kim doesn't announce her label this month (which she doesn't have) What are ya'll pressed cunts gonna do?

by @Erica_Mena @ 19 Jan 2012 01:31 am

^-----------EXACTLY Kim where the fucks the music at you been out of jail long enough not where you shoulda been dropping your 2nd album since being out, maybe you should just give it up and join the that vh1 Sureal Life Returns 5 song EP really hand over the crown you been lookslike a clow !
